After all, if you're buying a new 600 or 700 series motherboard for a new Raptor Lake CPU, that's the end of the line for you, as Intel is expected to move to a new socket and platform with their 14th generation. The big question mark today and moving forward though will be if Intel's 13th-gen limited upgrade path would hold back sales. The first step to a successful launch is, of course, making a good product and Intel have delivered this generation.
While the Core i9-13900K was a bit of fizzer due to its high power consumption and thermals, the Core i7- 13700K and Core i5- 13600K both turned out to be genuinely great options with strong gaming performance, excellent productivity capabilities, and decent value on the LGA 1700 platform. We're about a week and a half from Intel's 13th-gen Raptor Lake series launch which so far has included three K-SKU processors and three very similar KF models (without integrated graphics).
These are the two big CPU launches of 2022 and after examining some of the numbers, it's pretty clear that one release has gone a lot better than the other.
Raptor lake vs zen 4 update#
In context: A couple of weeks ago we posted an update looking into how AMD's Zen 4 CPU launch fared and today we're back with a similar preliminar analysis, but this time looking at Intel's Raptor Lake launch.
